Chapter 76 – Crisis and opportunity!

"SinoPharm?"

In the office, upon hearing this name, Tian Liangwei and Xu Yun exchanged a knowing glance.

After a moment.

Both of them burst into laughter at the same time.

SinoPharm, a name that was both unexpected and expected.

It is a giant agricultural chemical company from Neon, founded in 1964, with a current market value of over 130 billion Huaxia currency.

The first generation was successfully developed, and SinoPharm played a part in it.

It can even be said that SinoPharm was able to develop to its current scale by monopolizing the patent of the first generation pyrimidine insecticide.

However, the subsequent second generation pyrimidine insecticide and nicotine-based insecticides can only be considered as routine iterations, so SinoPharm gradually lost its monopoly in the market since around 2011.

There is no doubt.

The appearance of Wang Zhaomin is not a coincidence. He must be carrying some undisclosed secrets.

Afterwards, Tian Liangwei thought of something and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes:

"Xiao Xu, actually when I heard your report, I had a vague premonition - of course, this premonition does not refer to a specific company, but where they come from.

After all, they have too many previous records, and we have suffered too many losses."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun also sighed with a serious expression.

Corporate spies.

This profession is different from the usual 500,000 yuan jobs. It does not have much political color and is mainly tied to money.

And Neon companies have been using these tactics... it's not just once or twice, or once or twice a year.

For example, in the 1980s, when the Neon delegation first came to Xuanzhou Jing County, they infiltrated the Xueling paper-making village and almost stole the Xueling paper-making technology.

Later, when the plan failed, they turned to Zhejiang Province and visited the Xueling paper-making process under the pretext of inspection.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

At the same time, they took photos and videos with the friendly attitude of the person in charge towards foreign guests, and even obtained the concentration of the alkaline water, which was a top-secret formula.

Similarly, there was the earlier Jingtailan technique, where they intentionally used a tie to steal the Jingtailan glaze material and obtained the formula through analysis after returning.

There are many similar cases, such as dragon beard grass mats, silkworm medicine, and so on.

So Xu Yun has always been puzzled:

Faced with such a neighbor, it may be extreme to be hostile, but why do some people not even have the necessary vigilance?

But after the anger, Xu Yun couldn't help but feel a little emotional:

"Teacher, although these methods are very despicable, we have to admit that our neighbor's response speed is something to be reckoned with.

Look, from the outbreak of the topic until now, not only have they reacted, but they have even found the entry point.

If it weren't for Li Cheng's strong will, they might have succeeded in getting their hands on it for just 300 yuan worth of bait."

After listening to these words, Tian Liangwei also had a lingering fear on his face:

"This is the deceit and trickery of the business world. There are no visible knives and swords, but it is even more terrifying than the bloody rivers and lakes... We researchers may not be able to outplay them."

As mentioned earlier.

The difference between the fifth and third generations mainly lies in some derivatives of ring formation, which is a matter of thinking, and the technical aspects are actually at the existing level.

Other companies are not incapable of doing it, but they haven't thought in this direction.

Take the sign-in document as an example:

This type of document is actually very easy to write. The key is who first thinks of this theme and can reap its benefits.

For example, if an old author thinks of this theme first and accidentally reveals it during a chat, even if the person he is chatting with is just a 200-yuan subscriber, they can still take the first bite of the pie.

The same goes for the fifth generation pyrimidine insecticide.

As long as there is a finished sample, with the capabilities of those large pharmaceutical companies, it is actually very easy to reverse engineer the entire process.

This is also why Xu Yun chose to register a patent - a patent is essentially a trade-off between disclosure and protection. It tells you how the thing is synthesized, but during the patent's validity period, you cannot imitate it at all, otherwise I can sue you and make you go bankrupt.

The first generation pyrimidine insecticide was such a case. In the initial twenty years, countless people could only watch the few patent owners get rich and fat.

Therefore, if the fifth generation bait really falls into the hands of SinoPharm, the consequences could be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Tian Liangwei couldn't sit still:

"Xiao Xu, how much longer do you need to finish your patent application?"

Xu Yun thought for a moment and replied:

"It's almost done, three days... no, if I work overnight, I can definitely finish it within two days!"

"Then there's still time."

After pondering for a moment, Tian Liangwei said:"In that case, you go and contact the students from Class 2 of Yingwu. See if anyone still has any leftover gumdrops. If they do, collect them quickly.

And didn't Xiao Chang say that Wang Zhaomin has some acquaintances in their class? He might be trying to entice them again.

So just in case, I will inform the person in charge of the on-campus delivery service. If there are any students from the Applied Physics department who practice fencing, they must check the details of the packages.

Lastly, try to make good progress on the patent application and thesis as soon as possible. We might be able to turn this crisis into an opportunity!"

Xu Yun was originally following Tian Liangwei's instructions, but upon hearing this, he was stunned.

"Opportunity? Teacher, what do you mean...?"

"Senxia Pharmaceuticals!"

Tian Liangwei took a deep breath and explained:

"We can report the situation of Senxia Pharmaceuticals along with the patent. Currently, the authorities are paying great attention to this area.

We can take the direct channel of the Science Academy. With external enemies lurking, we might be able to handle it specially and shorten the time!"

As everyone knows, since January 1, 1994, Hometown has been a member of the PCT, which is the Patent Cooperation Treaty. Patent applications can be filed in multiple countries.

If you want to sell your products abroad, going through the PCT is also a necessary step.

However, this step is called international patents, but Hometown can also expedite the process. There's no way around it, it's because of our large volume.

For example, in 2019, Hometown submitted 58,990 patent applications under the PCT framework, and a considerable portion of them went through the fast-track channel.

In addition, biological pesticides have always been one of Hometown's weak areas, especially internationally. Biological pesticides and traditional pesticides are actually two different concepts. The former can be said to be a reflection of a country's relevant scientific research capabilities.

Currently, international biological pesticides are mainly monopolized by companies such as BASF, Bayer, Syngenta, and Corteva. Sometimes, the political significance is even greater.

Therefore, Hometown has always hoped to cultivate a leading disinfection and pest control company, or at least master some front-end biological pesticide patents.

In this background environment, when the University of Science and Technology came up with Senxia Pharmaceuticals...

Using a chemical concept to describe it, it is undoubtedly a catalyst.

Therefore, as Tian Liangwei said, this risk of almost causing a major accident could indeed become an opportunity for Xu Yun.

However, besides self-protection, the most crucial aspect of applying for a patent is that it represents mass production, which means commercial use.

And when it comes to commercial use, another issue cannot be ignored...

Tian Liangwei pondered for a few seconds and asked Xu Yun:

"Xiao Xu, are you planning to establish a company?"
